English | ISBN: 981997979X | 2023 | 171 pages | PDF | 3 MB
This book focuses on the dynamics of democracy and populism in Muslim-majority countries, such as Turkey and Indonesia. It does so by examining the complexities of democratic development in these areas, ranging from ‘flawed’ to ‘hybrid’ regimes. Despite the aspirations for democratic progress, recent democracy indices reveal a concerning trend of backsliding, particularly in the last decade. This regression can be attributed, in part, to the ascendancy of populist politics.

Comparative Studies in Modern European History Nation, Nationalism, Social Change


Free Download Miroslav Hroch, "Comparative Studies in Modern European History: Nation, Nationalism, Social Change "
English | ISBN: 1138375179 | 2019 | 336 pages | EPUB | 753 KB
The two main themes of this selection of articles by Professor Hroch are the process of nation formation during the 19th century, especially in the case of ‘smaller’ European nations, i.e. those without statehood, and the social and political aspects of the transition from a pre-modern, feudal and traditional society to a modern capitalist one and the uneven pace of this change in the West and East of Europe. The author argues that we cannot study the process of nation-formation as a mere product of some nebulous ‘nationalism’; we have to understand it as a part of social and cultural transformation, as a component of modernization of European societies, even though this modernization did not occur synchronically and had its regional specificities. Many of the papers focus specifically on the Czech case, but throughout there is an emphasis on comparative history.
